The evil of nuclear war has restored the representative of apocalyptic Nazi vengeance to full power. Beady-eyed and intense in his anti-Communist convictions, Sterling Hayden contrasts beautifully with Seller's genial Group Captain, who can't fathom the depth of his commanding officer's madness. / available through The Criterion Collection / Street Date June 28, 2016 / 39.95 Starring Peter Sellers, George C. Scott, Sterling Hayden, Keenan Wynn, Slim Pickens, Peter Bull, James Earl Jones, Tracy Reed Cinematography Gilbert Taylor Production Designer Ken Adam Art Direction Peter Murton Film Editor Anthony Harvey Original Music Laurie Johnson Written by Stanley Kubrick, Terry Southern, Peter George from his book Red Alert Produced by Stanley Kubrick, Leon Minoff Directed by Stanley KubrickReviewed by Glenn EricksonWhen I heard that Criterion was putting out a Blu-ray of Dr. Strangelove, Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love The Bomb I thought that there already was a disc out there from The Collection.
Criterion's Curtis Tsui produced those discs as well as this one. Release Dates
Dr. Strangelove divides its time between three main locations, each with its own deadly serious function and each overlaid with a different comedic tone. Criterion's special edition of Stanley Kubrick's doomsday comedy is more powerful than ever in a 4K remaster; and it even comes with a top-secret mission profile package and a partial-contents survival kit. The character is straight from the Siegfried Kracauer playbook. The backbone of the story remains 100% serious, while the jokes relentlessly demolish the death-cult logic of our Nuclear Deterrent. The grainy authenticity of these scenes would come back to haunt us when similar footage started being seen nightly on television, fresh from Vietnam. The aerial combat is more realistic than that in escapist films, even with inadequate models used for exteriors of the jet bomber in flight. Previous looks at the Air Force's flying deterrent were enlistment booster films like Strategic Air Command.
Some of the best fun is finding details in designer Ken Adam's impressive War Room, such as the pies already laid out in preparation for the aborted pie-fight finale. Promotional interviews from 1963 with Sellers and actor George C. Scott; excerpt from a 1980 interview with Sellers from NBC's Today show; Trailers; insert essay by scholar David Bromwich and a 1994 article by screenwriter Terry Southern on the making of the film.
Other extras are repeated from Sony's DVD disc of 2004. Docteur Folamour ou : comment j'ai appris à ne plus m'en faire et à aimer la bombe (Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb) est une comédie militaire et satirique sortie en 1964 et réalisée par Stanley Kubrick d'après le thriller 120 minutes pour sauver le monde, écrit par Peter George sous le pseudonyme de Peter Bryant. A Kubrick fan can have a pretty good weekend in Vegas with all that stuff. He catches himself and then is clearly on the verge of cracking up, forcing Kubrick to cut away. Contemplating 'megadeaths' gives him sexual pleasure. Grew up in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Washington D.C., and Maine.
The stroke of genius was deciding that the entire subject could best be approached as a sick joke.
Finally, the disc credits and details are printed in a genuine miniature Russian Phrase Book and Holy Bible, a little bigger than one-inch square. The decision to opt for broad comedy was Kubrick's inspired stroke. A making-of docu interviews several surviving technicians and actors, and a primer on the Cold War atom standoff goes deep into detail. I also can remember my father's reaction when we watched it together on network TV, ABC, I think.
Holding court in the War Room, President Merkin Muffley (Peter Sellers) is horrified to discover that such a Snafu is even possible. Check out some of the IMDb editors' favorites movies and shows to round out your Watchlist. He then seals off Burpelson to prevent a recall of the planes.
Excerpts from a 1966 audio interview with Kubrick, conducted by physicist and author Jeremy Bernstein; Four short documentaries about the making of the film, the sociopolitical climate of the period, the work of actor Peter Sellers, and the artistry of Kubrick.
I remember recording the soundtrack off TV in high school and memorizing all of the dialogue; this has to be the most quotable movie of its decade. It's not a crazy comedy where anything funny is okay. We're told that when Ronald Reagan was briefed at the start of his first term in office, he asked where the White House elevator to the War Room was.
I'm glad that we're finally beyond the frustrating early DVD years, when someone (at Warner Home Video?) I've never heard of anything like this before or after. Dr. Strangelove maintains a nervous tension between absurd comedy and morbid unease. The docu feeling in the B-52 is further amplified by the gritty newsreel-like footage of the taking of Burpelson Afb, with American troops fighting American troops.
The scary part is that, no matter how stupid they behave, none are really that exaggerated.
